    The form will be used by the DFAS in order to establish and start 
the annuity for a potential child annuitant. When the form is 
completed, it will serve as a medical report to substantiate a child's 
incapacity. The law requires that an unmarried child who is 
incapacitated must provide a current certified medical report. When the 
incapacity is not permanent a medical certification must be received by 
DFAS every two years in order for the child to continue receiving 
annuity payments.
